The average hospital stay for the 50,000+ animals that #UCDavis treats every year is less than a week. It's a rare occurrence for an animal to be hospitalized for four months, but two alpacas did just that after the #LNUComplexFire. https://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/news/burned-alpacas-hospitalized-four-months-finally-go-home

Apple Jack and Jasper became fixtures at the hospital, being seen by nearly every fourth-year veterinary student who had a large animal rotation. The students and technicians even decorated their barn stall for the holidays! https://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/news/burned-alpacas-hospitalized-four-months-finally-go-home
